“Fuck me,” Julian moaned, gazing up at Luca, those remarkable eyes of his almost burning with the force of his desire. It was amazing to Luca that he’d been the one to put that desire there. “Fuck me right here. I need you.”
As Julian spoke, he was opening Luca’s pants, and his clever, strong little hand was locking around Luca’s cock, which was more than ready for action. More than ready to do exactly what Julian asked for.
There was no chance that Luca would deny him, of course. Already, he was stripping Julian’s pants off, tugging them down so that Julian could step out of them. It took only a second to slick his hand with saliva, which was all that either of them had any patience for.
The preparation was hurried. It was heaven to feel that tight, hot ass around his fingers, to feel the way Julian clenched around him, to see the look on his face, but it wasn’t enough. Not for either of them. So as soon as Julian could take two fingers and was moaning for more, Luca had his cock slicked up and ready.
Julian’s body was small and light and easy enough for Luca to heft around. He picked the gorgeous, tiny man up and pinned him against the wall so that his hips were at the exact right level to line up with Luca’s.
“Wrap your legs around me, babe,” Luca invited, and when Julian did, when they were anchored together, it was so easy for him to just slip inside the smaller man, to take him in one quick movement just like they both so badly needed.
The wall held Julian up nicely, that and Luca’s hips, so that Luca’s hands were free to explore while he started to fuck Julian. He touched his nipples, pushed his shirt further off of him, all while he pumped deep and hard inside of him and kissed him over and over.
It didn’t last long. It couldn’t, not with how explosive the energy was between them, and how long it had been since they’d been together. From Julian’s tightness, Luca could tell that Julian hadn’t been with anyone else, either, so this was the first time in many months for both of them.
“Luca,” Julian moaned, his arms and legs wrapped around Luca like he was desperate not to let him go again. “Luca, more, harder, I’m so close!”
“Me too, baby,” Luca whispered, his cock slamming deep, but he was deliberate in his movements, too, and made sure that he rubbed against Julian’s prostate with every thrust. “Together, let’s come together.”
His hand settled around Julian’s perfect cock, pleased when he felt it so slick with precome it was like the man had already come. Or it would have been, if not for the tension in Julian’s body that made it very clear he was just as close as Luca was.
The pleasure, when it erupted, was blinding. For a moment, Luca couldn’t see anything, couldn’t think, could barely breathe, as his cock twitched and his come exploded out of him in a torrent. He felt the gush of Julian’s come on his fingers, too, and in that one moment, everything was perfect again. They were in sync in a way that Luca hadn’t even dreamed of finding with anyone else.
For a long moment, Luca just basked in the pleasure, and in the knowledge that he actually really did have Julian back with him again. He looked into those lovely eyes and time just seemed to stop having meaning for that one instant. Eventually, of course, reality intruded. Julian squirmed a little, and Luca realized that his own body was trembling. Julian wasn’t a large man, but holding that much weight up had still exhausted Luca, especially with how rough and eager and enthusiastic their sex had been.
“Jesus,” Julian moaned softly, and Luca smiled and nodded in agreement. He leaned in to kiss the other man, then stroked his cheek softly. The sex had been pretty rough, yes, but he still wanted Julian to know that he loved him, too.
Which reminded him.
“I hope you don’t have a lot that you need to pack,” Luca said thoughtfully. “I want to leave soon.”
Luca watched as Julian tried to puzzle all of that out, a slight smirk on his face. His plans had been a lot more extensive than just coming to this concert to surprise Julian. And now that some (but definitely not all, he knew that he would need Julian again soon) of that sexual energy had been sated, he was able to think about it, to put those plans into motion.
“What are you talking about?” Julian asked, and Luca laughed softly and started to pull his clothes together. He’d never gotten completely naked, and neither had Julian. They’d just both been way too desperate for that.
“I hope you don’t have any other plans.” Luca frowned a little bit. He’d only seen this one concert listed, but it only just then occurred to him that Julian might have something else going on than just his music. Another job, maybe.
But that worry was instantly dispelled.
“I don’t. I mean, I’m supposed to be writing more songs for the album, but I have time. Why? What’s going on?” Julian gave him a bit of a look, and Luca relented.
“We’re going to go home, and you’re going to tell Ella that I’m taking you away so that she won’t worry. You’re going to pack a bag, and then we’re going away.” Luca laid it all out, and he had the distinct pleasure of seeing Julian’s eyes widen in wonder.
“You’ve thought of everything,” Julian murmured, and Luca allowed himself a soft sigh of relief. Julian didn’t seem upset or annoyed, he just seemed delighted. “Where are we going?”
“Away. Just you and me,” Luca murmured, and Julian searched his face for a moment before apparently deciding to trust Luca. He nodded, and moments later, both of them considerably rumpled, they left the concert venue.
* * *
Luca had figured that they would need to stop by Ella’s place on the way, but to his surprise, Ella and Julian were living together. That made it easy enough for them to let her know.
“Your phone number,” Ella made sure to demand, and Luca grinned at her and took the phone that she offered him. It took a few seconds to program his number into it, and the sense of security that he immediately felt when that simple step was done was nearly overwhelming.
Now, at least, Ella could contact him. If something weird did happen, if he and Julian were ever separated again, they could find each other again, and much more easily. To some people, it would have seemed like such a small thing, almost insignificant.
Not to Luca, though. Not anymore.
Then Ella texted him, and he had her number, too. That was an even bigger deal, and the whole thing made Luca bold enough that he turned and handed his phone to Julian.
“Your turn,” he said firmly, and he saw that Ella was staring at Julian, too and that she was on his side. Julian glanced at them both, and then nodded slowly and took the phone. In seconds, Luca had what he wanted, and it seemed so strange to him that that could be.
If only this had happened when they first started dating…
In a very real way, though, while that would always matter deeply to him, while the months he’d spent alone and looking for Julian would haunt him, he had to move on. It was either that, or he risked losing what they could have over bitterness over the past.
“I’m sorry,” Julian said, as he handed the phone back to Luca. He said it very quietly, but Luca heard it, and he didn’t need to ask why his lover was sorry.
“Me too,” Luca said. If he’d been brave enough to insist more, even if all he had done was given Julian his number without requiring Julian’s in return, none of this would have happened.
“Get out of here, guys,” Ella said, but she was smiling. When Luca smiled back at her, though, he saw the oddest expression in her large, dark eyes. Her lips were smiling, but her eyes were thoughtful. Sad, even.
Kiran.
“You could call him, you know,” Luca said impulsively. It was none of his business, and he suspected that Kiran would hate him for saying anything. Kiran would probably think that it came off as desperate, but Luca just wanted Kiran and Ella both to be as happy as he and Julian were.
“No I can’t,” Ella said, and she didn’t even pretend not to know who he was talking about. “I don’t have his number anymore. I deleted it.”<
br />
Luca shook his head. There was a lot to that story, he sensed, but it was really between Ella and Kiran. Wasn’t it? Ella certainly didn’t seem to be exactly thrilled with her decision.
He could give her Kiran’s number, but he didn’t have permission to do that. Next time he spoke to Kiran, he would ask him about it. Until then, it didn’t make any sense for him to raise Ella’s hopes. Maybe she’d hurt Kiran too badly, and he didn’t want her to have his number anymore.
“Get out of here,” Ella insisted, and Luca nodded. He couldn’t help but grin widely as Julian slipped his hand into Luca’s, as he felt their fingers link together like their hands belonged that way.
“See you,” Julian said, and he brushed a kiss against Ella’s cheek. In seconds, they were out the door, heading down to Luca’s car, which was all packed and ready to go. Julian had a few more bags to add, but other than that, they were ready.
“I feel weird about that whole thing,” Julian said thoughtfully, as they packed the last of the bags into the trunk of the car. “You know? Like it’s sort of sad that things happened the way that they did.”
Luca looked at him, startled. It was like Julian was echoing his own thoughts. He was so deliriously happy that he almost felt that he could float away on a cloud of contentment, but the only thing holding him down was thinking about Kiran and Ella.
“He’s all alone in Japan,” Luca said quietly. “I was there with him for a week, but other than that … he’s just living there alone, with family that he barely knows, trying to make a company that his father cared about keep on going.”
Julian shuddered, and Luca nodded his agreement. It sounded like hell to him, too. He didn’t really understand why Kiran was there at all.
“Poor guy. What did he do here?” Julian settled into the car, and Luca had to fight off an urge to pinch himself. This had to be a dream, right? There was no way that this man, whom Luca had been fantasizing about for months at this point, was actually right here beside him.
Only somehow, by some miracle, he was.
“He was always ‘going to school,’” Luca said, belatedly remembering to answer Julian’s question. “I think he was searching for something that he wanted to do. Heck, I don’t know. Maybe, as weird as it sounds to us, his family company is what he’s meant to do.”
Julian shrugged but didn’t say anything. He didn’t really need to. It sounded like a bit of a stretch to him, too. A way to assuage the guilt he felt over abandoning his best friend in a foreign country. Of course, Luca had had no choice. He’d had to get back to his job.
And to Julian.
Still, it was unresolved, and that bothered him. Ella and Kiran were both adults, and they’d made their choices. Who was he to say they were the wrong ones?
“I feel like … we should try to help them,” Julian said, and Luca, once more, looked at him with surprise. How did this man keep on doing this? It was like they shared some sort of connection, some joining of the minds, unlike anything that Luca had ever felt before.
“Maybe we should,” Luca said thoughtfully, and then he started the car, and they were off on their big adventure.
His work hadn’t been happy about him taking this time off so soon, but he could deal with that when he got back. For this week, at least, his job didn’t matter, and neither did Julian’s.
This week was all about them.
Chapter Thirteen
Julian
Julian had been lightly dozing, but he woke when the car pulled to a stop. He yawned and stretched some of the kinks out of his back and neck, then peered out of the window to see what there was to see.
It was terribly romantic, really, that Luca was just taking him away like this. Julian had no idea where they were going, but in some strange way, that didn’t even matter. As much as Julian usually liked to know what was going on, the important thing at the moment was that he was there with Luca. Everything else was secondary, as long as they were together.
Which didn’t mean that he wasn’t curious. It was just that, for once, he was content to let it be whatever it was.
Still, when he looked out the window, he was a little disappointed to see nothing but darkness. Well, darkness and a motel, the type that could be found pretty much anywhere in the United States.
“Are we still in California?” Julian asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he unfolded himself from the car. He let out a groan of pure relief as he was able to really stretch, all the way from his neck down to the tips of his fingers and toes, every muscle groaned in relief.
“Nope,” Luca said, and Julian stole another look around. The air felt wetter here, he decided. And maybe a little colder? Of course, they’d left in the late afternoon, and it was fully night now, so it was a little bit hard to tell.
“Oregon?” Julian guessed, and Luca just grinned at him. Julian smirked a little. “That wasn’t a no. So we’re in Oregon.”
“Come on, we have to check in,” Luca said, and Julian, enjoying the freedom to move around, to stretch his legs, paced around the side of the car and pressed himself against Luca.
It was strange, for him, anyway. He felt like he could never get enough of touching this man, or kissing him, or rubbing against him. Couldn’t get enough of those strong arms around him, making him feel safe and protected, but also fearless and somehow strong himself.
“This is awesome,” Julian admitted. “No one’s ever done anything like this for me before.”
They kissed for a long moment, and Julian pressed Luca against the side of the car. He loved how Luca went, even though the other man was so big and strong that he easily could have stopped Julian if he wanted to.
“Just wait,” Luca whispered when the kiss finally ended. “It gets better than this.”
Julian grinned, and for once, he just let himself feel free and easy. Luca had made this happen, and now, all Julian had to do was enjoy it.
“I can’t wait,” he said happily, and it wasn’t long until they were at the front desk, being checked into their room for the night.
* * *
Julian had thought he was tired, but that nap in the car must have left him more rested than he thought. Luca, too, seemed restless, though he’d been driving. So maybe it wasn’t the nap in the car, after all.
Maybe it was just that, after so long separated, neither of them could bear to spend much time apart. Sleep robbed them of time together, and some part of Julian couldn’t help but think this was just some temporary reprieve, that he was going to lose Luca again.
Julian turned to Luca and found him waiting for him. How many nights had he laid awake, remembering how it had felt to have this man in bed with him? Now, here he was, and Julian kissed him, feeling the same desperation in Luca’s kiss that he felt radiating through his whole body.
“Julian,” Luca moaned, and it took so little for the gorgeous man to get Julian going. Their bodies shifted together, bare skin rubbing, and the sensual, erotic feeling was more than enough to have Julian’s cock start to swell.
“Can’t sleep?” Julian whispered, his hand sliding down the smooth skin of Luca’s body, tracing over that glorious body. He let his hands worship and reclaim every inch of skin, taking his time with him in a way that they hadn’t had time or patience for after the show.
“No,” Luca whispered, and Julian smirked a little, pleased with himself, as he slid his fingers down over that flat, taut belly. He was less than an inch, at all times, from Luca’s cock, but he was teasing them both by making them wait for a little bit.
It wasn’t a game that could last very long. He wanted Luca too damn much, all the time, to keep it going for more than a few minutes, at most. But it was a lot of fun to play while he could.
“Me neither. Maybe we should tire each other out.” Just a tiny bit, Julian slid his fingers closer, so that he could actually feel the heat radiating off of Luca’s swollen cock.
“I like that idea. Julian, please,” Luca moaned, and his big, strong han
d came down to cradle Julian’s, just a bit of tension in the fingers, like he was fighting the urge to move Julian’s hand that scant distance over.
It was too much, that, please. To have Luca actually begging from him, it was too perfect, too damn hot. Julian couldn’t resist, and he didn’t really see any reason to try. He moaned softly, kissing Luca’s soft, full lips briefly before starting to slip down his impossibly gorgeous body.
This time, he didn’t make him wait. He locked his lips around the head of his cock and started to suck him immediately, moaning at the taste of him, at the feel of his precome as it leaked into his mouth.
“Oh fuck, Julian,” Luca moaned, and the breathless, desperate sound of that moan made Julian more determined than ever. He started to take him in, inch by inch.
“Touch yourself, baby, let me see,” Luca whispered, and Julian shivered as little shocks of pure pleasure and arousal jolted through his body. He would have done anything that Luca asked him to do, he figured, if Luca whispered it to him like that, and he wrapped his own fingers around his cock as he sucked.
Once more, it didn’t take long. They were both still so recently reunited, and the eroticism of the situation was undeniable. Luca moaned, whimpered, and thrust and Julian jerked himself, and it was almost too soon that those little jolts of arousal started to build. The pleasure started to grow, and when Luca gave a hoarse, desperate cry and his come started to spurt into Julian’s mouth, Julian gave in to the pleasure as it spiraled out of control and left him breathless.
It turned out, that was all that they both needed. They cuddled up together, and Julian was content that, for the night, at least, they were really reunited. He fell into a deep sleep, cradled by Luca’s arms and cradling him in return.
